The Hidden Skills Africa Needs Now to Achieve Agenda 2063: Focus on Youth.
Abstract
Africa
has
the
youngest
population
in
the
world,
with
Uganda
providing
the
lowest
median
population
of
15years.
Japan
and
Germany
have
the
oldest
median
populations
in
the
world
at
an
average
of
42
years.
By
2050,
Africa
will
have
the
youngest
active
working
population
group
in
the
world,
and
will
have
approximately
2.4
billion
people.
While
technical
and
vocational
skills
such
as
engineering,
finance,
various
artisans,
and
project
management,
etc.,
are
absolutely
vital
and
critical
in
Africa’s
current
and
next
phase
of
development
(especially
in
infrastructure
development),
it
is
the
leadership
skills,
interrelationship
skills,
people-management
skills,
and
other
so-called
soft-skills,
that
African
businesses,
governments,
civil
society
organisations,
and
tertiary
institutions,
need
to
boost,
alongside
the
technical
skills,
in
order
to
provide
the
fuel
and
the
glue
that
Africa
needs
to
achieve
its
grand
vision
as
articulated
in
the
African
Union’s
Agenda
2063
